Re: [PHP Template] recursive templates

On a tangent:

I suppose there must be a rule against truly recursive templates.  Eg
template a includes template b includes template c includes template a --
forever.  Although theoretically this could work with proper conditionals, I
don't think we wanna go there.

I think it should bail and spit out an error in case of recursion.
